A bassinet is a sleep space that’s specifically designed for newborns and younger babies. It’s smaller than a crib and typically placed next to your bed so you have easy access to your baby throughout the night. Many are also mobile so your baby can nap near you during the day. You can use a bassinet from day one until your baby is able to move around, push up on their hands or roll over, usually between about three months and five months old. Some bassinets have weight restrictions as well, so be sure to check the specific guidelines of your particular model. Our [bassinet shopping guide](https://www.babylist.com/hello-baby/best-bassinets) will help you decide which one works best for your family.
